The sidewalks where terror breeds | csmonitor.com

Here's what we're up against. This is one of the best articles I've seen that describes in their own words how these wanna-be terrorists think. Read it all, then decide if you think any short-term solution short of hunting them down and imprisonment... or eradication... is viable.

"On 7/7, the jihad came. The suicide bombers were aged 18 to 30 - the same age as Abu Osama's cohorts. By portraying militancy as the ultimate expression of piety, Abu Osama and preachers like him are leading young Muslims down the path toward violence.

'Some of the people tell you Islam is a religion of peace because they think that then you'll want to convert,' says Dublin-born convert Khalid Kelly, who soaks up Abu Osama's sidewalk sermon. 'But you cannot possibly say Islam is a religion of peace; jihad is not an internal struggle.'"
